Word comparison is not working properly when there is a expand/collapse headers

Aspose.Words Product Family

I am comparing two word documents and the comparison tool is not comparing them correctly when there’s a table with expandable headers. There is a deleted section just before the table and the comparison tool assumes it’s a part of the second table.
